Monica’s Story: Forgotten, But Still Faithful


One quiet morning, Monica was found tied to the shelters porch, no note, no explanation, no one coming back for her. Abandoned and confused, this 6-year-old girl waited patiently, trusting someone would help.


That someone was Nicholas Pet Haven.


With gentle care, love, and time, Monica began to bloom. Her spirit, once weighed down by uncertainty, started to shine. She didn’t let being left behind turn her cold. Instead, she’s offering her whole heart to the next person who shows her kindness.

Who Monica Is Today


Monica is affectionate, athletic, and loyal to the core. She loves running through the yard, chasing tennis balls, and playing a game of fetch with anyone willing. She’s happiest when she’s near her people, the kind of dog who sticks by your side through thick and thin.


   •    Best as the only dog in the home, she likes to be the queen of the castle

   •    Likely great with respectful, older children

   •    Gentle and smart, with a strong desire to please

   •    Open to meet and greets with experienced adopters


If you’re looking for a loyal shadow, Monica could be your perfect match.
